Samsung Electronics America, Inc.,
announced an exclusive marketing and retail collaboration with ESPN, the
national leader in college football, to showcase Samsung’s premium QLED TVs as
the best way to watch college football at home; something the crowds that line-up on Saturday afternoons in front of Video & Audio Center's QLED TV displays in the stores has told us for quite awhile now. With 4K screen sizes that go up
to 88”, college football becomes even bigger and more immersive with Samsung’s
lineup of big screen QLED TVs—and Video & Audio Center has them all for less than amazon.com or Best Buy, see stores for details.

To show America's college football fans just how immersive their complete line of cutting-edge QLED TVs truly are, Samsung
will highlight the capabilities of its super big screen QLED lineup at select
tailgating events across the country. The tour will visit pre-game festivities
at some of this season’s most intense matchups – including Big Ten, Big 12, ACC
and SEC rivalries – and the most exciting playoff events, including the College
Football Playoff Semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic and the College
Football Playoff National Championship.

College
football fans at these events will be able to watch live college football games
from around the country on Samsung QLED TV, so they can see for themselves how
QLED transforms every game into the big game. They will also be eligible to win
a variety of great prizes, including a trip for two to this season’s national
championship game in Santa Clara, California.

“ESPN
is the preeminent leader in college football, and we’re proud to be their
choice for watching all the biggest games at home,” said Grace Dolan, Vice President, Consumer Electronics Marketing, Samsung
Electronics America.

“No matter where your team is playing, QLED TV’s
huge screen, fantastic resolution and lifelike colors make it easy to see all
of the action this season. With Samsung QLED, anywhere you sit becomes the best
seat in the house.”

“Watching
college football with family and friends is a fall tradition,” said Ed Erhardt, President, ESPN Global Sales
& Marketing. “And new technology can make your living room feel like
the sidelines at the stadium.

With game-changing size, color, and 4K detail,
Samsung QLED TV provides a transformative experience that we look forward to
showcasing during ESPN’s college football coverage.”

QLED
TV Features

Samsung’s QLED TV takes Quantum dot technology to the next level with advancements in
light efficiency, stability and a wide color spectrum. The QLED TV can express
accurate color and achieve 100 percent color volume in the DCI-P3 color space,
the format for most cinema screen and HDR movies for television. The QLED TV’s
4K HDR Elite features rich, deep black levels and bold contrast to display
every detail on the display.

Meanwhile,
4K upscaling converts HD broadcasts into 4K, ensuring that consumers get an
incredibly sharp picture no matter the original resolution of the content they
are watching. At the same time, watching sports at home often involves dealing
with the brightness of the daylight at the stadium and of the daylight coming
into your living room. QLED TV excels in these environments, offering superior
real-world performance for color, contrast, and brightness. And on particularly
bright and sunny days, the QLED TV also has anti-reflection technology that
helps to minimizes glare coming in through the windows.

In
addition, Samsung’s new design elements can fit into any home – regardless of
the interior aesthetics or setup. When the TV is turned off, Ambient Mode
brings up decorative content that blends seamlessly with your décor, all while
offering useful information like weather reports, traffic updates, and news
headlines. You can also use Ambient Mode to display family photos or play
background music.

The
Q7 and Q9 models also feature the No Gap Wall Mount, which brings the TV flush
against the wall, closer than ever before, and the all-new One Invisible
Connection cable, which powers the TV and allows placement of components out of
sight. Consumers can now reclaim their living room space once occupied by
set-top boxes, external streaming devices and video game consoles with a single
optical cable that brings all devices together in a clean, orderly manner.
